@KarlWil1974 You could try resetting the settings in the Q boxes hidden menu.
To enter the hidden menu press the home button and scroll down to settings but do not select settings.
With settings highlighted press 0 0 1 then select
Only Carry out the first Reset being Reset Settings as the others will wipe all recordings.
After the reset you will have to re-pair your remote assuming you are using a bluetooth remote by pressing 1 and 3 together on the remote

Thank you for the suggestion. I have done it now, all seems to be working at the moment but will see what happens later tonight or tomorrow.

Out of interest, do you connect it to the network by an ethernet/network cable? Mine does this all the time when it's physically connected. Stops responding and fan constantly spins up. Have to remove and reconnect power, and connect via WiFi to avoid.
